Eze Delivers, Marmoush Misses

Eberechi Eze fired Palace ahead in the 16 minute after swift counter attack scoring the only goal of the game and sealing dream day for the Eagles.

City'd golden chance to equalize in the 36 minute when they were awarded penalty after Bernardo Silva was fouled. Star striker Erling Haaland gave the spot kick to egyptian forward Omar Marmoush but the young attacker saw his effort saved by goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

First Time Champions

This marks Crystal Palace’s 1st FA cup title having previously lost two finals in 1990 & 2016. It's also the club’s first major honor in its long history.

On the other hand, City missed out on claiming their eighth FA cup trophy despite dominating large spells of the match.

Penalty Hero

Stats from Squawka revealed Henderson's saved 4 of the last 8 penalties he's faced (excluding shootouts) underlining his crucial role in Palace's historic win.
